First, garnishes should always be edible even if you don't mean it to be eaten. You don't want to serve a plate and then tell people not to eat something on that plate. Next, it should add color to the plate. If your dish is mainly green, parsley wouldn't be an interesting garnish. Also, the garnish ideally should reflect some aspect of the dish. Often people garnish with a sprig of the herb used in the dish. If you really want to go all out, try carving a pretty design out of a vegetable to act as a garnish.
